California fires

Wow. This is so scary. I feel awful for everyone in its path!
Is the scope of this fire bigger than previous fires? Or is it hitting more populated areas than past fires?
As fires go, these aren’t particularly large - yet. In 2008 the Freeway Complex fire took out a much larger area. My town lost 100 houses in that one.
What makes these stand out, the Pallisades fire in particular, is that they’re burning in areas with a lot of expensive houses and famous people living in them. The winds are also particularly fierce - a Santa Ana wind of 60 MPH is fairly routine but I’ve never heard of them hitting 100 MPH as they are now.

@Steve-Miller thanks for that explanation!
So the winds are particularly scary then! Truly awful.

Sickening. DEI is just another tool the right uses to mask their hate.
But the article states, "... Elon Musk, one of the brightest minds of his generation..."
What? Says who?
Here is a great response from a vlogger, Naughty Nana DUZ, in Canada...

I've been a fan of Jesús Enrique Rosas for a long time. He has a single 'brand" now but his videos about the British royal family used to be a separate YouTube channel.
Link to videoI'm not invested in the concept of "DEI" and, in fact, "DEI" came into place at a time when I was paying no attention whatsoever. I didn't learn about it until well after it was established as, "something."
So, I'm not saying anything about it.
I'm only saying as a discrete observation I agree this lady is a sociopath.
She's talking about almost unimaginable tragedy and she's grinning without stop.
Yikes.

She hasn’t been a great mayor but she had nothing to do with the intensity of the fires.
